Over the decades, Anatolian metal artifacts have been the focus of
extensive scientific analysis. Now fifteen years of field work,
current surveys, excavations, and analytical programs regarding
transformations in metallurgy in this highly metalliferous region
have enabled Aslı han Yener in "Domestication of Metals
to focus for the first time on the "organization of production
within a broader social context.
In so doing, the author introduces convincing evidence for a
revision of existing models concerning the metal industry. The
volume locates a core of technological innovation in the highland
zones, where critical resources are in close proximity to the
developing polities in the fertile, agricultural lowlands. The
Early Bronze Age tin mine, Kestel, and the contemporary workshop
and habitation site of nearby Goltepe, illustrate an industrial
complex specializing in the production of tin metal. New
metallurgical data explain the organization and management of a
range of "interactive technologies in prehistoric states in
Anatolia from 8000-2000 B.C.
